Gary,
Thanks for the response! When I installed weewx (DEB package) I never set
up an archive. Maybe that's the problem?
As you may surmise... I'm mostly just a hack... no programing experience!
But I'm learning... albeit SLOWLY.
I guess I'll look into setting up an archive.
Thanks again for your suggestion!
Happy Thanksgiving!
